If it doesn't have a score, it is safe from the pitchforks.

 

[Lakitu]

Wow. Zelda fans must be dreaming right now. Good job Nintendo. Some developers should really take a leaf out of their game design philosophy.

 

[Caelus]

Nintendo should be kissing the feet of the Zelda team right now, this game makes the Switch from "I'll get it this Christmas" to a "Ahh maybe I should get it launch day and lock myself in my room".

 

[Tizoc]

EDIT: Wrong thread sorry.

 

[SolicitorPirate]

Jesus, back to back 5/5s from Giant Bomb with Horizon and Zelda. 2017 has sucked in a lot of ways, but in terms of gaming, this is shaping up to be one of the best years in recent memory

 

[Kane1345]

Awesome. I knew this would review well. Hopefully there's no problems with the Wii U version

 

[trixx]

Excited about this game, wondering if this means Zelda is going to be open world going forward..ehh.

Anyways still got Metroid . Confused about getting switch or wii u version now :L

Mario Odyssey gonna be the second coming of Christ if this is any indication of what they can do to reinvigorate a franchise. Goddamn.

 

[Sgt. Garlic]

Just had the thought that this and Mario Odyssey might end up being the two highest rated games of this decade. I expect Mario to deliver.

 

[LotusHD]

This has to be the happiest review thread I've ever seen lol

You must be having a hard time in this thread dawg

Lmao right

[Frostman]

Amazing! Get back home to these reviews and the game through my door!

 

[toastyToast]

98 with 49 reviews now with all the heavy hitters already represented.

Worst case scenario this goes down to 97

No spoilers, no footage from the game, but hype and great review.

4.5, WHAT THE HELL IS EZA THINKING?!?

 

[Skulldead]

If this was GTA VI you'd have a point. I trust Nintendo A LOT more than Rockstar to actually deliver in terms of gameplay and overall game design.

True, Nintendo usually deliver, but at the same time, i still think it get bonus point because... it got Zelda name (same for GTA or Mario). Anaway i'll see like everyone else.

 

[score01]

These reviews are awesome and are getting me hyped. Gonna be tough holding out on getting a switch till later on in the year.

 

[ckaneo]

No. That review is the one.

Verdict: No

I hate that their screenshots are pulled from trailers and they didn't do any capture of their own

Nah I didn't give it a proper read but I did read the bolded quotes, he's just complaining about what it is rather than how well it does it.

 

[Lom1lo]

So many 10s!!!
Now where's the controversial review...

There are some nines tho ^^

 

[b0bbyJ03]

Wow, just wow. My favorite game of all time is OoT but I haven't played a Nintendo system since the early Wii days. Might have to buy a Wii U or switch just for this damn game. Fuck!

This is pretty much what I expect...

 

[Majukun]

How do they keep doing it??

fundamental differences in the way they make games

 

[The Last One]

I really hope you guys are reading the reviews, and not just seeing scores.

Really helps to understand the groundbreaking changes this game stands for.

 

[A Link to the Past]

If Odyssey comes out and is critically acclaimed (at least similarly so), will this be the first time ever that GotY is, in part, Mario vs. Zelda?

 

[ajjow]

I feel like GTAIV + Tony Hawks most definitely don't belong there, but otherwise that's a damn solid list. Any one of those games is indeed great.

Tony hawk is great. I hate skating, but that game is awesome.

Gta4 is the prime example of buying reviews. Its one of the worst gtas since gta3.

Its a shame that gta5 is even lower than that. Gta5 is superb. Amazing and pretty funny.

Anyway, colour me impressed. I still
Have faith jim sterling will give it a 4 because he hates nintendo for taking his money.

Dystify, good job using traditional quotes. Much easier to read

Looks like there's a patch. Framerate improvements please?

Is this just not the Day 1 Switch update for eShop, online, etc?

 

[oneofthose]

how does nintendo make high rated AAA games in this day and age without being a graphically impresssive / "cinematic experience"

 

[entremet]

Mario Odyssey gonna be the second coming of Christ if this is any indication of what they can do to reinvigorate a franchise. Goddamn.

Huh?

The Galaxy and 3D/World were great. EAD Tokyo has been on point for a while.

Dude was right to go all out for this thread, these reviews are too good

 

[xviper]

WOW, this is more than i expected

i thought it will score 95

this is amazing and it's probably gonna stay the highest rated game of the generation

well done nintendo, i hope this surpasses Twilight princess as my favorite Zelda game of all time

i think Witcher 3 has finally gotten a competitor

thank god it's on Wii u or else i would have bought a Switch, Zelda is the only game worth buying a console for

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Wow, just wow. My favorite game of all time is OoT but I haven't played a Nintendo system since the early Wii days. Might have to buy a Wii U or switch just for this damn game. Fuck!

Do it!

The same way they do every day and age- brilliant game design

 

[Angel_DvA]

I'm a man of word:

 

[Domstercool]

GameXplain | "Liked it a lot" (= Their highest score)

I thought "Loved it" was the highest?

Mad scores overall - I'm dug in and waiting for tomorrow and my days off from work to play all day ( and weekend).

 

[MTC100]

Guys... we are witnessing gaming history right now.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Is this the best H1 ever?

 

[timshundo]

What does the day 1 patch do???

 

[T.O.P]

Sony: "Here's Horizon, open world perfection"

Nintendo: "Hold my beer"

Heh

My Horizon copy gonna stay wrapped for some time

 

[Yukinari]

Huh?

The Galaxy and 3D/World were great. EAD Tokyo has been on point for a while.

Mario Odyssey is gonna get higher scores than 3D Land and World no question. Just for the simple merit of being a return to open 3D mario.

 

[jdstorm]

For me, the only games I can conceivably see take GotY are

Breath of the Wild
Red Dead Redemption
Super Mario Odyssey

Dont rule out Destiny 2. If Bungie can get the story to an acceptable level its going to be in the mix.

 

[Spirited]

This is some cool stuff, now I just have to wait to get the damn switch and zelda shipped to me lol

 

[Matbtz]

I'm a man of word:

Welcome aboard.

 

[Realeza]

Yeah I'm predicting Super Mario Odyssey will be another critics heavy hitter. Might even surpass Mario Galaxy.
